Caleb Williams Injury Update Is Bad News for the Bears
- On Sunday, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a right hamstring injury during the 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, prompting coach Ben Johnson to say Monday he will likely miss some time.
- Williams collapsed without contact while driving for a potential game-winning touchdown during the second half at Soldier Field, prompting immediate fears of a season-ending injury among fans witnessing him carted off the field.
- Medical testing revealed a Grade 1 hamstring strain rather than a feared Achilles tear, with Williams walking out of the locker room, a development experts described as "somewhat encouraging."
- Coach Johnson indicated Monday that Williams is week-to-week and unlikely to practice this week, though the quarterback has not been ruled out for next Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Should Williams be unavailable, the Bears would turn to backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, who signed a two-year extension before the 2025 season and started four games as a rookie in 2023.
